Hey everyone,
I cleaned my mag pump and skimmer pump tonight. It increased my circulation significantly. So, reminder, do your maintenance.

I hadn't cleaned my iwaki in a good while, not to mention it had 3 snails in the trap. Pulled them out and wiped everything down,and bam!! huge flow difference!

This is especially important if you are running any kind of calcium dosing system as it can build up rather quick.

Yep, nothing like a good vinegar bath on those impeller-driven pumps to get a noticeable increase in flow.
